I was searching the web for red devils and a fish called the midas kept popping up. They look about the same but it seems as though alot of fish keepers don't know the difference. Can anybody describe or even better show me the differnce.
I also want a male of whatever species I get. Is there an accurate way to sex them as juviniles? Or should I do the buy a few and wait tell they mature trick?
generally, a midas has is thicker bodied, while a RD has a longer snout and bigger lips. generally, most "RDs" you come across will be a hybrid. they even have been known to cross-breed in the wild.
alot of the time on here, you'll see people refer to their RD/Midas. They generally just assume the fish they got from the store is a hybrid.
unless you're planning on breeding and selling the offspring, don't put too much worry into it.
